Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Juve to battle PSG for Pogba

Juventus are ready to do battle with Paris Saint-Germain for the signature of Paul Pogba - according to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.it/2021/08/04/calciomercato-juventus-pogba-manchester-united-rinnovo-psg/" target="_blank">Calcio Mercato</a>. The Bianconeri are eager to re-sign the 28-year-old amid talk that Manchester United are ready to let him leave the club for €50 million (£43m/$59m). Pogba, who only has 12 months left on his contract, played for Juve between 2012 and 2016, but PSG are also preparing to bid for his services.

Aston Villa want to sign Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell as a replacement for Jack Grealish if Grealish does depart for Manchester City in the coming weeks, according to <a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12372607/todd-cantwell-aston-villa-expected-to-pursue-norwich-midfielder-if-jack-grealish-transfer-is-finalised" target="_blank">Sky Sports</a>. Villa have already signed&nbsp;Emiliano Buendia from Norwich and have established a positive relationship with the club. Plus, Cantwell is entering the final year of his current contract (though there is an option for another season), and the Canaries may want to cash in now. <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Norwich City's Todd Cantwell delivered a bicycle kick assist yesterday 😳<a href="https://t.co/2rYdzBD6GF">pic.twitter.com/2rYdzBD6GF</a> — Goal (@goal) <a href="https://twitter.com/goal/status/1422791909932687362?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 4, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center>

Lionel Messi will sign a new contract with Barcelona on August 5,&nbsp;Goal&nbsp;can confirm, after the Spanish club received a significant&nbsp;loan payment&nbsp;from La Liga.
